A donkey and pony who were rescued by the Animal Rescue League of Boston in January have spent nearly a month rehabilitating at ARL’s Brewster Animal Care and Adoption Center, and are now ready to find their new forever home.

“Brighty,” an 11-year-old Gelded Donkey and “Misty,” a 16-year-old Mare Pony, are a bonded pair and will be adopted out as a pair. Both animals are extremely friendly, and anyone interested in adopting should contact ARL Brewster at 508-255-1030.

The animals were discovered during a routine inspection at the 25-acre farm property in Bristol County. Due to the extreme cold (12 degrees with a wind chill of minus 20) and an inability and lack of desire to provide adequate shelter and protection from the weather, the owner agreed to surrender the animals to ARL.
